Consider how you encounter the fallacies from Chapter 3 (pp.
56-60) on a regular basis. As you are listening to others speak,
for instance, pay attention to see if any of the fallacies are
being employed.
For this assignment, find and explain the use of one of the
fallacies discussed in Chapter 3. You should find the fallacy in
your daily life. Do not take an example from the textbook or
internet. In at least a paragraph, name and describe the fallacy
you found. Where did you see or hear it? How did it occur? In what
context? What do you believe was the purpose behind its use? Did
you recognize that it was bad reasoning at the time?
You may find fallacies in your own thinking, in conversations
with family and friends, in television and radio advertisements,
political ads, political debates, and interviews with or
announcements from politicians. Be sure to choose an example for
this exercise that allows you to answer the questions above in
order to write a complete paragraph.
